EDITORS COMMENTS
Page 11 Table Mountain, Cape Town, 1768-75 (w/c) by Hodges, William captures the breathtaking beauty of Table Mountain in Cape Town during the late 18th century. This stunning watercolor print showcases the iconic flat-topped mountain towering over the town and coastline. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings out the stark contrast between the sheer cliffs of Table Mountain and the calm waters of Table Bay. The boats and tall ships dotting the blue sea add a touch of nautical charm to this picturesque landscape. Table Mountain is not only a geographical landmark but also holds historical significance as it was explored during Captain Cook's Second Voyage. The painting transports us back in time to an era when exploration and maritime expeditions were at their peak. The composition beautifully captures both natural elements and human activity along the coast, with boats and tugboats adding movement to an otherwise serene scene. The vastness of the mountain range against a backdrop of clear skies evokes a sense of awe-inspiring grandeur. This remarkable artwork is part of Admiral Isaac Smith's collection, featuring original sketches, drawings, maps collected during his voyages. Preserved at Mitchell Library in New South Wales, this print serves as a testament to Hodges' talent for capturing landscapes with precision and artistry.
